I’ve owned an Eskimo Shark Z51, original Ion, Ion G2, Strikemaster Lite Flite, Pistol Bit, and the E40. The E40 is without a doubt the best auger I’ve had. I’ve kept the E40 and the Pistol Bit – all I can imagine ever needing.
*I should have included that the E40 I have is the 8″ composite model
still debating between the E40 and the Ion plus , both with composite flights, thoughts guys>
Thorne Bros has the E40 composite 8″ on sale for $495. Using the code DW2024 gets it down to $396 plus free shipping. To me the price difference makes it an easy decision.
